Summary
Elon Musk rejected accusations of Nazi sympathies in a Fox News interview, calling it “outrageous” and blaming media propaganda.
Critics point to his straight-arm salute at Trump’s rally, endorsement of a German far-right party, and reinstating white supremacist accounts on X.
His cuts to federal agencies under DOGE have sparked protests and vandalism, including nicknaming Teslas “swasticars.”
Musk claims he’s targeted for character assassination and receives daily death threats. He and Lara Trump compared the attacks to those against Donald Trump, accusing mainstream media of spreading lies.
All he did was a salute that means he supports the Nazi ideals. He was just showing his support for Adolf Hitler, and his policies that led to ethnic cleansing of millions of people. That’s all this is. Please be sympathetic to the world’s richest man. Obviously, things aren’t going well for him.
Not to mention following, liking, replying to and retweeting actual Nazis on Twitter.
Well since when has supporting nazis made someone a nazi?
